Day 2 of lockdown 3.0 and I’m already having gym withdrawals 😅🤪😬

Merry Christmas from my two families to yours 🎄✨❤️

Friday nights at my fave bar 😍 Swipe to see Dan out angle me 🙄😂 @ Les Mills New Zealand

👀Wee little physique update (don’t wanna be that guy that only posts shreddy throwbacks and then goes awol 😂😂) - still mid growth season, still eating heaps & trying to lift heaps 😅 tbh previously I’d never wear shorts to the gym unless I was lean but I’m trying to not care about what other people think so here we are 🤷🏼‍♀️

Current activities include;
Training 🏋🏼‍♀️
Eating for training 🥑
Teaching training 🗣
And studying training 🤓
Maybe I have all my eggs in one basket? 🤔😂🥚🥚

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!🎂✨ I had a great day spending time with some of my closest people 🥰❤️

Been a wee bit slack on here lately 🙊 Juggling full-time postgrad study, PTing & training has taken a bit of getting used to 🤹 but we’re still here, chipping away at physical and mental growth 🧠💪.

Well, that’s one way to improve your mind-muscle connection 😂🙈

Looking for a good finisher for shoulders?
Give 3 sets of one and a half rep standing barbell presses to failure a go 🥵😅
Would not recommend trying to wash your hair after though 😂

If your hair doesn’t end up in a mess, did you even workout? 🤨😂

Really enjoying training at the moment, almost every session I feel like I have racehorse blinkers on and it’s just me, my music, and the weights 🖤💪. Improvement season can be just as difficult mentally as comp prep, but setting different goals and shifting your focus is the key 🔑 to long term progress 📈

Tried out some new exercises & reintroduced some old ones for leg day today 🙌🦵I think I’ll be waddling around the gym tomorrow 🦆😂 As always, I got way too carried away with my workout to actually film any of it but I’ll try tomorrow 😅😂

Do you look forward to training? Or do you dread the thought of going to the gym? 🤔
It’s totally normal to go through slumps in motivation. If you’re currently struggling with this, here are some tips to get yourself back in the zone:
🔹put your favourite hype music on.
🔹watch a motivational video before training.
🔹have a coffee! Sometimes you might just be a bit tired.
🔹change up your workout, you might just be bored of doing the same thing.
🔹train with a friend! You can help keep each other accountable.
🔹train in the morning, so you don’t have to worry about it after a long day at work.
🔹try out a new gym, sometimes a change in scenery is all you need!

Honest truth: it took a whole lotta guts and about 30 minutes of self-talk to wear a crop to the gym in the midst of my off-season, and then taking a photo in the middle of the gym just so I had photo evidence 😅.
One of the most challenging things about an off/growth/improvement season is losing muscle definition, but when you balance it out with being able to lift heavy sh*t again & getting stronger by the week, it ain’t all that bad 😉🤷🏼‍♀️.

😁What makes you happy?😁
What do you look forward to when you get up in the morning? If there’s one thing lockdown taught me it’s that life is too short to live it in misery. If you’re not happy with what you’re doing, change it! So start that hobby, learn that thing, start that business. Whatever passion you’ve been neglecting, you may as well do it because at the end of the day, what’s the worst that could happen? 🤷🏼‍♀️.

🔹INSTAGRAM VS. REALITY🔹.
The first photo is what you see on SM everyday - posing, filters, angles - photos that only show the highlights & hide imperfections.
The second photo is unposed, unfiltered & unedited - how you see people in REAL life. And while there’s a time and a place for intense photo shoot photos and hard out flexing, we all need to remember that this is what you’re looking at when you’re scrolling through your feed. ✌️
Also, credit to for inspiring this post 👏🙏.

Not gonna lie, lockdown has made me appreciate being able to take a gym mirror selfie 😂🤳

Is anyone else feeling almost overwhelmed with all the different equipment we can now use?! 😂 my workouts feel like they’ve doubled in duration purely because I want to do every exercise 🤪. Yesterday was my first day back but I got so excited and carried away that I forgot to take a photo 😂😂 so here’s a shot from today’s workout 🏋🏼‍♀️😉.

One good thing to come out of this lockdown is that I’ve been able to challenge myself with new things & work on my weaknesses 💪👍.
I’ve learnt how to do a Turkish get-up, and done heaps of new variations of exercises I wouldn’t normally do like overhead walking lunges and funky burpee variations 👊😉. Yeah it sucked that we could go to the gym and it’s hard to make gains when you don’t have many weights to work with but you gotta look at the positives too 😊✌️.
